She was late again, not that she meant to be. There was just so much homework and classes, she hoped that the professor wouldn't mind because this was her first week of classes... Sitting at an empty desk in the even more emptier classroom, she copied the notes that were on the blackboard.
Gillyweed: eating a wad of this grows gills and webbed fingers and toes so that a person can swim and breathe underwater. Native to the Mediterranean Sea.
Bubotuber Pus: Good against stubborn acne; yellowish, smells of petrol
The pimple-curing properties of Bubotuber pus were discovered by Sacharissa Tugwood
Bezoar: Comes from the stomache of a goat, protects from most poisons.
Aconite: The same as monkshood and wolfsbane
Ingredient of the day: to be remembered for advanced Potions in the future!
Hellebore: There are several kinds of hellebore. The name comes from the Greek words 'elein' (to injure) and 'bora' (food), indicating that hellebore is poisonous. In some belief systems, it's been believed to be a purgative, sometimes of bad things generally, used for things like protecting livestock from evil spells, and (in powdered form) for invisibility.
Finishing up, she put away her notebook, quill, and ink into her shoulderbag and left the room.

As she walked into the room she remembered what another student had told her, that Hogwarts was a busy place. "Yeah, I guess it is, theres so much homework and all." she though and sighed. Sitting down in the potions class again she copied what was written on the blackboard.
- The mandrake root is a powerful restorative.
- It is one of the main ingredients for many antidotes.
- The plant itself is a purplish green colour. The roots resemble babies.
- The plants grow over the course of several months. When they have matured they are harvested and used as potion ingredients.
-The adult cry is fatal to wizards and witches. As babies it is still quite harmful and can knock a person out for awhile. Take caution when growing such a plant.
Homework: Write a few sentences discussing the information noted in class. Include a common potion the mandrake is used in and what the potion does.
Putting away her quill and ink and notebook into her bag she sighed and walked out of the door again. The professor wasn't in so she couldn't talk to her.
